The volunteers combed through more than 90 acres in rural Cape Girardeau County on Saturday and Sunday.

Jacque, 39, was last seen June 1 near the home of her estranged husband, Clay Waller, investigators say. He is a person of interest in her disappearance, according to Lt. David James with the Cape Girardeau Co. Sheriff's Office, reports CBS affiliate KFVS.

James says Clay Waller is not considered a suspect, because there is no evidence that a crime has been committed. However, authorities do suspect foul play in her disappearance.

Waller said he and his wife argued before she disappeared. His attorney says Waller denies having anything to do with her disappearance.

Jacque Waller's car was found abandoned along a state highway in what police suspect could be a scene staged to look like an abduction. Waller's purse, keys and cell phone were not found inside the vehicle.

Family members last saw her in Ste. Genevieve, where Waller was staying with her sister. She went to Cape Girardeau and Jackson on June 1 to complete divorce proceedings and pick up her son from Clay Waller's former home.

Clay Waller's construction sites have been part of investigation, authorities say

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

By Scott Moyers ~ Southeast MissourianCape Girardeau, MO

The fact that Clay Waller works in construction has not been lost on law enforcement officers, who said Monday that his job sites have been a part of the investigation since his wife's disappearance more than two months ago. While they wouldn't say where, the lead investigators said that they've considered that Jacque Sue Waller's remains may have been disposed of in cement.

"We've considered a lot of different possibilities, and that's just one of them," said Jackson police chief James Humphreys. "We don't have anything substantial to say for sure, but yeah, we've considered that."

Per this article, Clay Waller's arraignment has been set for 9 a.m. on Aug. 23 in front of Judge Scott Thomsen.

The Southeast Missourian is reporting that law enforcement have revealed they are searching construction sites where Clay Waller, the estranged, and suspicious, husband of missing Jacque Waller, had been working at the time of her disappearance. It appears the police are following a suspicion that Clay Waller could have disposed of Jacque’s body by burying it in concrete at a building site.

Submitted photo Jacque Sue Waller, right, has been missing since June 1.

The first time Joe Landam ever laid eyes on Jacque Waller was in photographs that were televised on Nancy Grace's CNN talk show. The second time he saw her, he says, was a few days later -- alive in the lobby of a Phoenix apartment complex.

"She looked just like the person I saw in the picture," said Landam, who is a lifelong Phoenix resident. "I swear it looked like the girl on the news. I was like, 'Wow, maybe this is her.'"

Her posture also struck him as unusual -- anxious, adrift and unfamiliar with her surroundings.

Landam reported what he saw to the Jackson Police Department but never heard back. He acknowledged there's no way to be certain it was the 39-year-old mother of three who has been missing since June 1.

Addison, the high-spirited redhead, is riding her bike outside. Avery, the blond who likes to dance and wear sunglasses, is offering a quick tour of the room she shares with her sister, annoying her aunt with the music cranked up.

Maddox, the only boy, is just coming off a fever but still has the energy for a Popsicle and playing with Tank, the snorting English bulldog that all the children have grown to adore.

Jackson, Missouri (AP/KSDK) - The husband of a woman missing for more than two months was granted a reduction in his bond on unrelated charges this morning.

James "Clay" Waller, 41, will now be able to bail out of the Cape Girardeau County Jail if he can come up with $2,700 after a judge lowed the original $65,000 bond to be reduced to $27,000.00 with 10% secured, or $2,700 cash.

Detailed article as I expected. Scott Moyers does his research and writes informative articles.~~~~~~~~

Pigirl, I have used my "free passes" for the month of August from the Southeast Missourian. I think Scott Moyers writes very informative articles. He posted an article regarding Waller's court appearance/bond reduction. Moyers researches and usually surpasses other media sources in their articles.

Despite a prosecutor's protestations that he is a clear flight risk, Clay Waller could be a free man as soon as today, following a judge's decision this morning to reduce his $65,000 cash-only bond to a $27,000 surety bond.

Waller appeared in court on charges of stealing and harassment, which law enforcement has been quick to point out have nothing to do with the investigation of his missing wife, Jacque.

But Cape Girardeau County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Angel Woodruff told the judge before his ruling that Waller is a flight risk because he is the focus of the investigation into Jacque's disappearance.

"You can consider anything," Woodruff said. "He is a suspect in this case."

JEFFERSON COUNTY, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com)— Amid all the new developments in the case of Jacque Waller, the missing mother of 5-year-old triplets from Farmington, Missouri, the case of Amanda Jones, a missing mother from Pevely, marked its sixth anniversary. Waller disappeared from Jackson, Missouri, June 1.

The investigation seems to have progressed far beyond the six-year-old Jones case. A prosecutor named a suspect in the Waller case: her estranged husband, Clay Waller. He remained jailed in Cape Girardeau County in an unrelated theft case Wednesday night.

An investigation by the FBI has prompted federal charges to be filed against Clay Waller, alleging he made Internet threats against his missing wife's sister, authorities said Friday. A felony charge of making a threat on an interstate communications device was filed against Waller Friday in U.S. District Court, said Assistant federal prosecutor Keith Sorrell. Such a charge carries a range of punishment up to five years, he said.

"He has been charged by our office," Sorrell said. "It was for making a threat over the Internet. There's a federal statute that makes that a crime."

Waller, the man prosecutors have called a suspect in his estranged wife Jacque Waller's June 1 disappearance, made an initial court appearance Friday afternoon before Magistrate Judge Lewis Blanton at the Rush H. Limbaugh Sr. U.S. Courthouse in Cape Girardeau.

The U.S. attorney's office asked that Waller -- who posted bond on his state charges Friday -- be detained without bond, which has placed him in the custody of the U.S. Marshal's Service. But Blanton did set a detention hearing for Thursday at 10:30 a.m. and a preliminary hearing for Sept. 16.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - "You are dead." Those words were part of the Internet thread that got Clay Waller in the latest round of trouble.

He is now facing federal charges for online threats toward his missing wife's sister, Cheryl Brennecke.

Waller is the estranged husband of Jacque Waller, missing since June.

On charges unrelated to that case, Waller was in the Cape Girardeau County Jail facing fraud and harassment charges. Waller posted bond at the Cape Girardeau County Jail Friday, and then was immediately taken into federal custody.

I think Law Enforcement did an excellent job in tracing the IP address.

I noticed in some Houston cases in the past IP addresses have been traced by Law Enforcement when the poster tried to circumvent his or her IP address. Maybe some folks will think twice about what they post on various sites.

I guess Waller thought it could never be connected to him. Law Enforcement are really getting on top of the "computer world!"

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - Clay Waller was scheduled to be in court Thursday for a detention hearing based on a federal charge of Internet threatening.

Waller is charged with threatening his missing wife's sister on the gossip site Topix.

According to court papers, Waller is accused of posting a message that reads in part, "You are dead...Your dad threaten(ed) clay, I know he's all talk, I will get you 5, 10, 25 years from now. You have it coming."

During this proceeding, Judge Lewis Blanton informed the court that Clay Waller has been indicted on charges of sending an email threatening physical harm to another over the Internet.

The Government filed a motion requesting that Waller be held without bond, alleging that no conditions of bond could reasonably assure Waller's appearance in court or the safety of any other person or the community.

During this detention hearing, the government worked to prove that Clay Waller is a danger to the public.

Waller has been missing since June 1, 2011. An assistant state prosecutor recently called Clay Waller a suspect in that case. However, Waller has never been charged in connection to that investigation.

Following the presentation of evidence on the issue of detention on Thursday morning in federal court, the remainder of the hearing was continued until Monday, September 12, 2011, at 12 p.m.

Federal prosecutor: Clay Waller confessed to murder of estranged wife; more details released of evidence

Thursday, September 8, 2011 ~ Updated 5:28 PM

By Scott Moyers ~ Southeast MissourianCape Girardeau, MO

Clay Waller confessed to his father that he murdered his estranged wife and buried her in a hole he dug beforehand, federal prosecutor Larry Ferrell said Thursday in a federal courtroom.

In addition, Ferrell said, strong physical evidence links Waller to the crime, including blood that police collected from Waller's Jackson home. Blood evidence was taken from two walls and from carpet that had been cut from the floor and hidden in a basement crawl space. DNA testing confirmed that the blood belonged to Jacque Waller, Ferrell said.

"This defendant, I will argue in this case, has murdered Jacque Waller," Ferrell said. " ... The defendant confessed to murder. He dug a hole before he committed the murder and then buried Jacque Waller in it."

That's when she filed the Ex Parte Order of Protection. "I would go home and find him hiding in my closet, he was making me a hostage in my house, scared me, stalked me, waited for me watching," said Prater.

During this proceeding, Judge Lewis Blanton informed the court that Clay Waller has been indicted on charges of sending an email threatening physical harm to another over the Internet.

The Government filed a motion requesting that Waller be held without bond, alleging that no conditions of bond could reasonably assure Waller's appearance in court or the safety of any other person or the community.

During this detention hearing, the government worked to prove that Clay Waller is a danger to the public.

In the last video link, I watched the first one, and I thought the lady reporter was studdering because it kept stopping, then starting again. It was so annoying, I didn't try to watch the second one about what Jacque's family had to say. But, I'm sure it is my computer because it is so old.

Affidavit: Waller confessed to father days after Jacque's disappearance

Posted: Sep 12, 2011 12:41 PM CDT Updated: Sep 12, 2011 4:47 PM CDT

By Christy HendricksKFVS - Cape Girardeau, MO

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - According a supplemental affidavit submitted Monday, Clay Waller's father says Clay went to him a few days after Clay's estranged wife's disappearance and confessed to killing her.

Clay Waller had another court appearance Monday.

It was a continuance from last Thursday's detention hearing, during which Assistant United States Attorney Larry Ferrell released details surrounding the disappearance of Waller's estranged wife Jacque.

The federal prosecutor is trying to convince the judge that Waller should be held without bond because Ferrell says evidence indicates Waller is responsible for the woman's murder.

Because of federal rules, a deposition is not allowed in this type of hearing. Instead, the judge allowed the supplemental affidavit of Waller which was provided by an FBI agent.

Farmington, Mo. (KTVI-FOX2now.com)— There's been a stunning development in the search for a missing mother of triplets from Farmington. A just filed court document said Jacque Waller's estranged husband, Clay, confessed to his father that he killed Jacque.

Clay Waller, 41, is in federal custody for allegedly threatening to kill Jacque's sister, who's caring for the couple's 5 year old triplets.

He has not been charged in connection with Jacque's disappearance, June 1. He's asking a judge to set bond so he can get out of jail. FBI affidavits filed in the case spell out why authorities say that cannot be allowed to happen.

When Clay Waller tearfully admitted to his father that he killed his estranged wife Jacque, he made a motion with his arms that suggested he broke her neck, according to an FBI supplemental affidavit admitted into evidence in federal court Monday.

The one-paragraph supplement, prepared by FBI Special Agent Brian Ritter, says that Waller spoke to his father, James Clay Waller Sr., just a few days after Jacque Waller disappeared on June 1. According to the affidavit, Clay Waller confessed to his father that the hole had already been dug and that he buried Jacque with a shovel. Snipped:

Magistrate judge Lewis Blanton ruled that the supplemental affidavit would be admitted into evidence and advised that hearsay evidence is admissible in a detention hearing. Judges typically rule within 48 hours in detention hearings. Pretrial motions are scheduled to be heard at 11 a.m. Sept. 29.

Snipped:

A preliminary hearing in the state case against Clay Waller is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sept. 27, though that hearing may be delayed until the disposition of the federal case.

Clay Waller to be held without bond on federal threat chargeFriday, September 16, 2011

By Scott Moyers ~ Southeast MissourianCape Girardeau, MO

Clay Waller's release from custody would present a danger to the community and a serious flight risk, a judge wrote Thursday in denying Waller's bond request on a federal Internet threat charge. And Magistrate Judge Lewis Blanton also wrote that he considered information that was presented at last week's detention hearing about Waller's alleged involvement in the disappearance of his wife, Jacque.

"I find that the credible testimony and information submitted at the hearing establishes by clear and convincing evidence that the release of the defendant would constitute a danger to the community," Blanton wrote. "The court further finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the release of the defendant on bond would present a risk of nonappearance."

Clay Waller will go to trial on federal charges of making an Internet threat next month after waiving his right to a pretrial motions hearing Thursday.

Waller's Sept. 29 federal pretrial motions hearing was canceled Thursday when he submitted a motion to waive his right to the hearing. The hearing was Waller's opportunity to raise any issues with evidence from the prosecution, federal prosecutor Larry Ferrell said.

Magistrate Judge Lewis Blanton set Waller's jury trial date for Oct. 3, according to court documents. A jury would be drawn from the southeastern division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. The division runs from St. Genevieve to the Arkansas border and as far west as Stoddard County.
